Have you ever wanted something so badly that somehow it happens in spite of the odds against it? I feel like I’m in that situation right now. I’ve mentioned before how Andy and I are looking for some land in the mountains to build. We found a great area with a few acres on it that we both love, but nothing else is right about the situation–meaning the timing or the finances. Right now it seems impossible to work out, but I don’t want to give up. If I will it, will it happen? There’s been other times in my life when I feel like I’ve willed something to happen that seemed impossible. Maybe the same thing will happen with this.

I was talking to someone the other day about how much Andy and I want to escape the world and just live a simple life in the mountains. She told me that it was probably for a reason that we both felt so strongly about it. My grandmother always told me that things always work out in the end. I’ll just have to believe it.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of the land we want. It’s up in the mountains near Park City, Utah. The current owner made trails with tree branches, so that’s what we’re following. It’s beautiful, quiet, peaceful, and just what we want. Fingers crossed!
